I think your point is good if understated. Some of the language and the words that the people you are referring elect to use is quite remarkable and not in a positive manner.

If people don't have anything helpful to contribute then keep your hands in your pocket and let someone else field the question. Received on Wed Nov 02 2005 - 11:45:02 CST
